The last Word In Single Tear Paper Towel Holders
Let me first say that I never thought I would be writing a review for a paper towel holder, right? I mean, it's only a paper towel holder fro crying out loud. That was until I used the Polder Single Tear Paper Towel Holder, Brushed Stainless Steel with Black flex rubber rings.
I am embarrassed that I tolerated that wooden doweled 8th grade woodshop paper towel holder project for as many years as I did. Had I know that this new technology existed I would have upgraded sooner, not waiting for the previous holder to break (one time too many after multiple home fixes).
First - it looks good. The stainless is not "IN YOUR FACE" like many of the modern, big, stainless appliances dotting suburbia's landscape. It is subtle, and blends well with a traditional kitchen.
Second - weight, it is hefty. No too heavy that my wife is unable to move it if needed, but stout enough to resist movement from a "bad pull" at the paper towel. With previous holders, a bad pull would send the roll and holder flying across the kitchen. URGH. Not here, no way. This thing is staying put.
Third and most importantly - one handed tearing of single, double or triple sheets is easy peasy lemon squeezie! I never, ever, ever was able to pull off the one handed single sheet tear off with my previous bastardization of a towel holder. The Polder Single Tear Paper Towel Holder, Brushed Stainless Steel with Black flex rubber rings makes it so. I LOVE IT!!!
I was considering some of the other models listed here in Amazon (simplehuman Quick Load Paper Towel Holder and V Polder KTH-6066-87 Single Tear Paper Towel Holder) but became worried of the "fuzz" factor that many were complaining about as well as the "...it doesn't work past half roll" issue. Yes, really! I let "paper towel fuzz" guide my buying decision. And boy, was I glad I did. This holder here leaves absolutely no fuzz behind and works one handed down to the last few sheets.
I have recommended and chastised quite a few products here on Amazon. Good or bad, I like to tell the truth and let people know why. You cannot go wrong with the Polder Single Tear Paper Towel Holder, Brushed Stainless Steel with Black flex rubber rings. It works each and every time, it is stout, and beautiful enough for any style of kitchen. It is absolutely the last word in hands free paper towel dispensing.
